A reading pathway

Closing the feedback loop

What should happen between hearing a concern and reporting a response?

A feedback loop needs more than a summary. Someone needs to consider the evidence, decide what can happen, take responsibility and explain the response to students. The next review should revisit the experience that prompted the decision.

A useful starting point

Use these readings to trace one issue through your own process. Distinguish what was heard, what was decided, what has happened and what still needs checking. That gives students and colleagues a shared account of progress without turning an action log into a claim that the problem is solved.

  1. Name the decision, action owner and review date.
  2. Explain constraints and unresolved requests alongside completed actions.
  3. Check that students can find and understand the response.
